Switch off the heater (refer to Section E).
The first time you ignite your heater it will smell like new for a short time. Store your fuel in a cool and dark place. Fuel has a limited shelf life. Start every heating season with new fuel. The right quality of fuel will be assured, when you use Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal for your heater. If you change to another brand and/or type of paraffin oil, you must first finish up all the remaining fuel in the heater.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION For each model the minimum size of space is specified in which you can use the heater safely, without additional ventilation (refer to Section J). If a particular room is smaller than the specified space, always leave a window or door slightly ajar ( 2.5 cm). We also recommend doing this in highly insulated or draught-free rooms and/or at altitudes above 1,500 metres. However, if there is insufficient ventilation (i.e. oxygen), the heater will automatically switch off. Do not use your heater in cellars or other underground areas. SAFETY SYSTEM When you have turned on the heater, if the room temperature is relatively low (19 to 20C) it may automatically switch off. The cause of this is build-up of heat in the heater. This is a logical consequence of the required safety mechanism (as is laid down in the NF D35-300 standard) and does not indicate a defect. This will not occur when using the heater at lower ambient temperatures. SAFE TOP The heater is supplied with a safe top. This application decreases the temperature of the top plate. In this way, the risk of harmful accidents at accidentally touching the top plate is considerably decreased. However, be aware that the top plate still becomes hot. Avoid any contact with the top plate and grille. THE RIGHT FUEL Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869 Part two, or equivalent. Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin oil, such as Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal. Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in: excessive tar deposits on the glass fibre wick incomplete burning reduced heater lifetime smoke and/or smells deposits on the grid or mantle Using the right fuel is therefore essential for safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.

Always refer to your local dealer for the right fuel for your heater.
Only the use of the correct fuel will ensure safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.
This transportation cap is packed separately in the box. Only this cap ensures trouble-free transportation of the heater after use. Store it well!

MANUAL

INSTALLING THE HEATER
1 Carefully remove your heater from the box and check the contents. In addition to the heater you also need to have: a transportation cap
these directions for use Keep the box and the packaging materials (Fig. A) for storage and/or transportation. 2 Remove the other packaging materials: Release the right side of the grill from the two slots by pulling the right side of the grill to the left and then pull it forward (Fig. B). Pull both ends of the packaging to the rear and at the same time slightly downwards (see Fig. C). Remove the combustion chamber from the heater and remove the packaging underneath (see Fig. D). Put the combustion chamber back into its place. The combustion chamber
is positioned correctly when it can be smoothly moved a little to the left and to the right by its handle (Fig. F). Close the grill: Slightly lift it to reposition it in its slot. Open the lid of the removable tank and remove the piece of cardboard. If the left side of the grill has been removed, first insert the flattened upper left end of the grill into the upper left slot and then insert the other flattened end into the lower left slot (Fig. E). 3 Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B. 4 Insert the batteries into their holder at the back of the heater (Fig. G). Ensure that the positive and negative poles match the + and - marks indicated
on the battery housing. 5 The floor should be firm and completely level. Reposition the heater, when it is not level. Do not correct the situation by placing books or other goods under the heater. Please refer to the separate instructions in the carton box for fixing of the heater. 6 Your heater is now ready for use.
FILLING FUEL Do not fill the removable tank in the living room, but in a more suitable place (there can always be some spillage). Follow the procedure below:
1 Make sure that the heater is switched off. 2 Open the lid and lift the removable tank out of the heater (Fig. H). Note: Some drops may leak from the tank. Put down the removable tank (cap pointing upwards) and screw off the fuel cap.
3 Take the manual fuel pump and insert the smooth, most rigid tube into the jerrycan. Make sure that it is in a higher position than the removable tank (Fig. H). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank. 4 Lock the valve on top of the pump (turn clockwise). 5 Squeeze the pump a few times, until fuel starts flowing into the removable tank. As soon as this happens, there is no need to press any longer. 6 Check the removable tank fuel gauge while filling the tank (Fig. J). Stop filling by loosening the valve on top of the pump (turn anti-clock-wise), once the gauge indicates that the tank is full. Never overfill the tank, especially not when the fuel is very cold (fuel expands when it heats up). 7 Let the remaining fuel in the pump flow back into the jerrycan and carefully remove the pump. Carefully screw the fuel cap back on the tank. Clean

off any spilled fuel. 8 Check whether the fuel cap is straight and tightened properly. Reinstall the removable tank in the heater (cap down). Close the lid.
IGNITING THE HEATER A new heater may give off some smells for a short while, when it is used for the first time. You should therefore provide extra ventilation or ignite the heater outside the living room.
When you use the heater for the first time, first put the filled removable tank into place, and then wait approximately 30 minutes before you ignite the heater. This allows the glass fibre wick to soak up the fuel. Follow the same procedure when you have completely burnt up all fuel from the tank, and after the glass fibre wick has been replaced. Before igniting the heater, always check the fuel indicator to see whether the removable tank needs filling up.
Always ignite the heater with the ignition coil. Never use matches or a cigarette lighter. Follow the procedure below: 1 Turn the knurled wick adjustment knob clockwise to its stop (Fig. K). If you apply more pressure you may turn it slightly further; however, it will automatically return to the startposition. 2 Push in the ignition button (Fig. L), but do not apply too much force. Release the ignition button as soon as a flame is visible in the combustion chamber. If the heater has been used only a few times and the wick adjustment knob is not locked, first turn the wick adjustment knob (Fig. M) completely left, before putting the wick in the highest position for ignition (Section C).
After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion
chamber is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle (Fig. E). This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.
BURNING OF THE HEATER After you have ignited the heater, it will take 10 to 15 minutes before you can check
whether the heater is burning well. Too high a flame may cause smoke and soot, whereas too low a flame causes smells. The page opposite the folding page shows the minimum and maximum permissible burning heights of the flame (Fig. Q). The flame can be slightly adjusted with the knurled wick adjustment knob (Fig. M). Burning that is too low may be caused by: insufficient fuel poor fuel quality insufficient ventilation wastage of the wick (fill the tank) (contact your dealer) (put window or door ajar) (contact your dealer or replace the wick, refer to section L)
This heater is equipped with a safety mechanism which switches off the heater when

the removable fuel tank is taken out of its compartment. To re-ignite the heater, place the removable fuel tank back in the heater and follow the instructions as described in chapter C.
SWITCHING OFF THE HEATER Push the OFF-button. The flame will extinguish after a little while (Fig. N). MALFUNCTION, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS If any malfunctioning cannot be solved from the directions below, please contact
your dealer. THE HEATER DOES NOT IGNITE The batteries are not positioned correctly in the holder. Check (Fig. G). There is not enough power left in the batteries for the ignition. Replace (Fig. G). You have run out of fuel from the tank or the wick has been replaced. After having refilled and replaced the removable tank, wait for 30 minutes before igniting the heater. You are pushing the ignition button with too much force. Push it in less forcefully (Section C). The ignition coil is defective. Contact your dealer. IRREGULAR FLAME AND/OR SOOT AND/OR SMELLS The combustion chamber has not been positioned correctly. Use the handle to put it level, until you can easily slide it slightly to the left and to the right and the chamber is level.
You are using fuel which is past its use by date. Start every heating season with fresh fuel. You are using the incorrect type of fuel. Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section What you need to know in advance). Dust has gathered in the lower part of the heater. Contact your dealer. The wick height is not correct. Contact your dealer.
THE HEATER SLOWLY EXTINGUISHES The removable tank is empty. See Section B. The lower reservoir is contaminated by moist. Contact your dealer. The wick has hardened on the upper side. Burn the heater until all fuel is used (Section G). Use the right fuel. You are using fuel which is past its use by date. Start every heating season with fresh fuel. THE HEATER REMAINS BURNING LOW Wick position too low. Contact your dealer. Before you refilled the tank, the heater had burnt up almost all the fuel. After having refilled and replaced the removable tank, wait for 30 minutes before igniting the heater. You are using the incorrect type of fuel. Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section What you need to know in advance). The room is insufficiently ventilated. Leave a window or a door wide open for a while. THE HEATER IS BURNING TOO HIGH You are using an incorrect, too volatile type of fuel. Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section What you need to know in advance). Wick position too high. Contact your dealer.

MAINTENANCE Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you
remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these may cause stains that are hard to remove. Under normal conditions, only three components are subject to wear: 1. THE BATTERIES You may replace the batteries yourself. Do not dispose of old batteries along with the other domestic waste. Follow the locally applicable regulations regarding the disposal of domestic chemical waste.
2. THE IGNITION COIL The ignition coil will have a longer life, if you ignite the heater in the correct manner. Replace the batteries in time and take care not to push in the ignition

broken ignition coil

button with too much force. If the filament is broken, the ignition coil must be replaced. 3. THE WICK To extend the glass fibre wick life, you must occasionally let the heater burn until the tank is completely emptied and the heater extinguishes by itself. Do this when you notice that the flame is weakening. The burn-out will cause some smells, so it is recommended that you take the heater outside of the living room.
Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for repairs.
Let the heater cool down first, before you start any maintenance or service work.
STORAGE (END OF THE HEATING SEASON) We recommend that you burn up all the fuel in the fuel tank at the end of the heating
season and store the heater properly. Follow the procedure on the next page: 1 Ignite the heater outside the living room and let it burn until all fuel is used. 2 Let the heater cool down. 3 Clean the heater with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. 4 Remove the batteries from the holder and store them in a dry place. 5 Clean the fuel filter (refer to section G). 6 Store the heater in a dust-free place, if possible in its original packaging. Unused fuel cannot be used for the next heating season. If there is still some fuel left, do not throw it away, but dispose of it in accordance with the local regulations for the disposal of domestic chemical waste. Always start the new heating season with fresh fuel. When you start re-using the heater, follow the instructions again (starting from Section A and as specified).
TRANSPORTATION Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of

the heater: 1 Let the heater cool down. 2 Remove the removable tank from the heater and remove the fuel filter (Fig. O). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Store the fuel filter and the removable tank outside the heater.

10 TIPS FOR SAFE USE

100 cm
Make sure that children are always aware of the presence of a burning heater. Do not move the heater when it is burning or still hot. Do not refill nor service the heater when it is burning or still hot. Position the front of the heater at a minimum distance of 1.5 metres from walls, curtains, and furniture. Do not use the heater in dusty rooms or in very draughty places. In both cases you will not have optimum burning. Switch off the heater, before you go to sleep. Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans. Make sure that the fuel is not exposed to heat or extreme temperature changes. Always store the fuel in a cool, dry and dark place (sunlight will affect the quality). Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be present (e.g. exhaust gasses or paint fumes). Be aware that the grid of the heater becomes hot. If the appliance is covered there is a risk of fire. Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.
